Wait a second, should I consider this as a spoiler since the song that you've ranked dead last last time was probably Lithuania?

I submitted my votes... all I can say is what a difference one contest makes. The country that ranked dead last last time got top honours this time

5) 2010 Winter Olympics: Alex Bilodeau winning Canada's first ever Olympic gold medal on home soil, after failing to win any in 1976 and 1988.
4) 1972 Summit Series - Game 8, defeating the Soviet Union
3) Donovan Bailey wins the 100m gold medal in Atlanta 1996, breaking the World Record in the process.
2) Women's hockey gold in 2002. The officiating was horrible (against the Canadians) and the Americans had the Canadian flag on the floor of their dressing room. The Canadians took the last laugh though by winning the gold and starting a streak of four straight gold medals!
1) Olympic hockey gold in 2010 for the men, breaking the record for the most gold medals by a country at a single Winter Olympics.

I like Lillehammer, but I don't get why they wouldn't host snowboarding, freestyle and ice hockey when they have perfectly good venues for that...

intoronto reacted to orangeman in Winter Olympic Games 2018 Final Review
I have a picture of me and my sister in front of that Buddha at Seoraksan that was just re-posted on facebook a couple of days ago. It's from 2012, although I've been there many times. I'm glad you had this opportunity, I really like Seokcho. It was probably my second favourite Korean city after Seoul (though Busan in summer is nice). It is absolutely lovely there in fall, if anyone ever has the opportunity.
I've lived in East Asia since 2005, but I'll be moving away this summer (going to Egypt!). Such bad timing, with all these Olympics coming to this part of the world. I hope to get to Tokyo 2020, maybe as a volunteer.

Where do I start with this one
I have been fascinated with the Olympics since 2002!! (I was 9 years old at the time). Back then our middle school had video announcements, so during the 2002 Winter Olympics we would record the results of the Olympics and then this would be played throughout the school. At the time I was a young person who really did not understand the magnitude of the Olympic games.Ever since then I have watched every Olympics (religiously, at hours only dedicated fans like us would wake up to do so) till 2016. Around the Rio Olympics I applied to be a volunteer at the 2018 Winter Olympics and I was officially accepted as one in early 2017. These would be the first Olympics I got to see in person! As a volunteer my accommodation was located in Sokcho, which was in the northeast part of the country. The only problem I noticed with the operations was the lack of English speaking and transportation could have been better. However, with pretty much everything being covered for you, this was a great experience! Perhaps a Totallympics team can be in Tokyo and onward as volunteers
I was able to see the following events:
-Mixed doubles curling gold medal match (free volunteer ticket)
-Canada vs USA Women's hockey preliminary match
-Canada vs Korea Men's hockey preliminary match
-Short track speed skating sessions on the 17th and 20th - thank you to a friend at the ISU for those tickets!
I also went to Beijing and Tokyo, so I got to see the next 2 host cities as well

They use "urban" a lot. And one doesn't use an adjective often if they are completely fine with the opposite.

"Only a rubber ball is needed for the street sport which is said to bring baseball to previously inaccessible areas.
Any playing surface can be utilised and no pitcher is needed as hitting is done by hand."
Baseball without a bat. Brilliant.
Next will be swimming without water.

Biathlon hurts, but when your hobby is to rupture your meniscus, I guess the pain of skiing doesn't frighten you at all.
She'll start in the relay tomorrow, I'm putting my money on Russia with a pain lover like this.
